I'm going to visit my grandfather this weekend. His house smells like a skunk rolled around in some rotten cabbages, died, and got eaten and pooped out by a water buffalo. Thankfully I dont have to sleep there, but I do have to visit for a few hours, a couple days in a row. Last time, I wore a mask with mint toothpaste rubbed inside, which didn't help at all.

Google is failing me; the only results I can find are how to get rid of a smell, and that's just not possible here without a great deal of fire. So can anyone recommend how to live with a uniquely terrible smell for a few days?

Get a mask, maybe a scented one.

You might wanna read the post again.

It asked how people deal with an unpleasant smell. A mask is going to be worn around your nose, no?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well yeah, and it also explicitly said that a scented mask has already been tried and did not help.

That wasn't there the first time.
